Why I Am a Member of a Missionary Baptist Church

This book came about as a result of a discussion between the Author and a person seeking Jesus Christ, which in actuality had not found our Lord and Savior. It is always the responsibility of a Christian to witness and defend the Word of God by way of the Holy Spirit. It would then follow that this

person being a member of the false Church of Christ believed that he had found the Church that Christ founded upon Himself, Matthew 16:18 KJV, but unfortunately, he had not, and it was a blessing that he had found me to witness to him the Word of God All he needed to do was believe the scripture

I presented to him in the KJV Bible to show him the true Church of Christ. The membership where he attends involves usage of God's name on the church building which is an inanimate object and in doing so is blasphemy and sacrilege, because it violates scripture at Romans 2:24 KJV, James 2:7 KJV and also Exodus 20 KJV which states: 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD

will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. This is what blasphemy is all about, avoid it

In a general sense, he only saw the Gospel of Christ as Jesus Death, Burial and Resurrection which is true but he could not see the totality of this Good News Narrative of Salvation and the limitless abundance of physical life through grace and mercy if we have faith The challenge involves what we correctly believe. The Bible teaches that all men have a knowledge of God (1 Timothy 2:4 KJV), which is to some degree a belief in Him but not in the right thoughts or thinking because if they call upon His name thinking they have the true belief and are wrong according to the Gospel they are in a state of condemnation (Romans 10:13-15 KJV). Now this state of condemnation being not of yielding to our temptations or the sinner's pray which God will always forgive but serving the intents to gain man's favor in traditions, customs and rituals (Matthew 15 KJV). The Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is not complicated. The scriptures tell us that many in that day will call upon the name of the Lord for Salvation (Matthew 7:12-23 KJV), but few will be chosen. Our problem as Christian and Sinners today is we work to make things too hard, unnecessarily difficult or incorrectly complex especially when dealing with the Word of God, it is simple and easy to understand where directions are given as a prerequisite towards greater study and correct interpretation of the Word.
